Evo 5 Style front bumper for my Evo 8?

Does anyone make a front bumper for the 8, that resembles the evo 4/5 front bumper? Why doesnt anyone talk about this?

Probably because it'll look like crap.

I've seen an evo8 body kit made for the evo4-6 shape lancer and that looked crap, just doesn't go with the lines of the car.

I don't know, the big fogs might look really good. There is a guy that has an evo ix with big fogs custom fit in the bumper and it looks amazing

It's about function and looking oem for me! I like using as much light as possible in the mountains.

Anyone else ?

I have a five and ok I don't use the spotlights all that often but when you do you the game changes knowing that the on coming cars can see your epic ride from a mile away. plus the extra light all the more fun

I think that your best bet is to either buy an evo v bumper and get the mounts modified and the bumper widend or just get one custom made ok not the cheapest option but it is one hope this helps

Thanks Rotor!
That looks pretty clean there on the 9 bumper, looks almost factory. I'll have to think about that one!

Here's the good ****:




Just something about it! I wish they brought it forward to the new models.

By the way, same thing happened with the STY?

At least they are functional... unlike those weird holes in front of the IX.

Sorry to re-hash an old thread but hoping some of the posters are still around. The link in the post no longer works.

Has anyone found Evo 5 style bumper, wing, other body parts for the Evo 8/9?
